Material

Introduction

Start here if you are new to RNA-Seq analysis in Galaxy

End-to-End Analysis

These tutorials take you from raw sequencing reads to pathway analysis

Visualisation

Tutorials covering data visualisation

Other

Assorted Tutorials

Galaxy instances

You can use a public Galaxy instance which has been tested for the availability of the used tools. They are listed along with the tutorials above.

You can also use the following Docker image for these tutorials:

docker run -p 8080:80 quay.io/galaxy/transcriptomics-training

NOTE: Use the -d flag at the end of the command if you want to automatically download all the data-libraries into the container.

It will launch a flavored Galaxy instance available on http://localhost:8080. This instance will contain all the tools and workflows to follow the tutorials in this topic. Login as admin with password password to access everything.
